Nikon D3400 Review

The Nikon D3400 retains the same sensor, image processor and focusing unit, making it essentially the same camera with a lighter body and Bluetooth connectivity. It also drops a few features, but still makes the cut as the best budget DSLR out there...

Autofocus is often slow ; No sensor cleaning ; No weatherproofing on body

The Nikon D3400 is the best budget DSLR in the market right now, but not without a few flaws. It delivers class-leading imaging performance, and now begs for an upgrade to the autofocus mechanism. The very light body and easy controls aid usage, but...

There are many specification upgrades that you get on Nikon D3400 DSLR over Canon1300D or Nikon D3300. But a higher resolution size and battery capacity makes it the best choice among the available entry level DSLRs in the market. Indeed it’s an entry...

Nikon D3400 review

Very compact and lightweight body ; Superb battery life ; Good single-shot AF performance ; Easy to use ; Very compact and quiet kit lens

No touchscreen ; Poor connectivity options ; No microphone port

The Nikon D3400 has plenty going for it, with a beautifully compact body, a decent AF system, huge battery life and reliable image quality. What's more, it's incredibly easy to use for the first time user, while the price drop has made it one of our...

Nikon D3400 review: A fantastic budget DSLR

Controls are relatively basic ; Bluetooth transfers could be more reliable

The D3400 also has competition from compact system cameras (CSCs), but the market for sub-£500 CSCs has dried up in the last couple of years so you’ll probably have to pick up an end-of-life discounted model. Considering that the D3400 costs a mere...

If you're tired of getting blurry low-light images from your smartphone, or simply want a small SLR that's easy to use and won't break the bank, the D3400 is a strong choice. The included kit lens is a solid starter option, and you'll have access to...

Nikon D3400 review

The Nikon D3300 has long been my go-to recommendation for a cheap dSLR, but after two years it's usually time to slap a new coat of paint on consumer products. Nikon's 2016 update to that camera, the D3400, has some small enhancements to bring it up to...

The Nikon D3400 delivers the image quality and speed that a first-time dSLR buyer should expect.

A lot of the small annoyances from previous models remain, including tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder and a nonpersistent self-timer mode. Plus, its Bluetooth-only wireless solution isn't very good.

Very good photo quality for its class plus performance fast enough to capture kids and pets make the Nikon D3400 A solid choice for a first dSLR.

Nikon D3400

Nikon has a new entry-level DX-format DSLR for 2016. Long live the D3400! Sporting a 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor mated to the EXPEED 4 image processing engine, the D3400 is perfect for anyone looking to graduate from point-and-shoot or smartphone...

Nikon D3400 Review

The Nikon D3400 is a new entry-level DSLR camera with a 24.2 megapixel DX format APS-C sensor with no anti-aliasing filter. The main improvements to the D3400 are extended battery life and SnapBridge support. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE),...

While the extended battery life and Snapbridge support are both nice additions to the new Nikon D3400, it doesn't really offer anything that the previous D300 model did, either in terms of features or design. Indeed, the new model actually offers fewer...
